The public has long been aware that particulate matter (PM) can be deleterious to health,
between inhalation of (tobacco) smoke and “dusty” roadways. Yet establishing what PM …

Researchers and regulators have often considered preferentially regulating the types of
ambient airborne particulate matter (PM) most relevant to human health effects. While few …

Exposure to particulate matter (PM) is associated with adverse health outcomes. There has
long been a question as to whether some components of the PM mixture are of greater …

Results of recent research show that particulate matter (PM) composition and size vary
widely with both space and time. Despite the variability in PM characteristics, which are …

Particulate matter (PM) is a key indicator of air pollution brought into the air by a variety of
natural and human activities. As it can be suspended over long time and travel over long …

While numerous studies have demonstrated that shortterm exposure to particulate matter
(PM*) is associated with adverse health effects, the characteristics of PM that cause harm …

Particulate matter (PM) is a complex, heterogeneous mixture that changes in time and
space. It encompasses many different chemical components and physical characteristics …

Herein is the discussion of the 2006 A&WMA Critical Review1, 2 on “Health Effects of Fine
Particulate Air Pollution: Lines that Connect.” In the review, Drs. C. Arden Pope III and …

Opening a panel discussion at last spring's meeting of the Society of Toxicology in
Baltimore, moderator Joe Mauderly told his audience that the subject at hand—health risks …

While most in the scientific community are of the opinion that the composition of fine
particulate matter (PM2. 5) is an important driver of resultant health effects, there is still some …
